MAC Paint Pot Reviews

Firstly I hate how heavy each one of these weigh, not good for traveling at all. The colour varieties are not that great at all. I have three of them, they work well and do have staying power but I find that once it gets dry it's not comfortable to have on and the colour loses it's stay. It's hard to control over the lid as well. I dont think I will buy another one so that's a big negative indicator for me

Love them! Hands down thats it. And I hate hate hate cream shadows. I use Painterly everyday as a base or sometimes by its self if im down on time. Since I've been using these I haven't had to worry about my shadows not staying on all day.

These are the holy grail for eye lid/ eye shadow primers! I have this in Painterly and my eyeshadow no matter what kind does not budge or crease...i wish it was a bit more softer of a formula but its still amazing!

I am African American and I have them in Delft, Painterly and Quite Natural. I use them with an eyeshadow base for extra crease protection. I use them before I use certain eyeshadows that I want to be intensified. I use all of them and I love them!!

I have been using MAC products for a few years now and it is the best! I have a few of the paint pots. I use painterly more often than not as an eyeshadow base and as a neutral base for underneath my slicker lipsticks and glosses. Sometimes all alone with a neutral liner and a light lip tint as not to let my lips get too dry. The paint pots are an essential in my makeup closet!

i have medium to dark skin tone. and it is hard to get some colors to show the way i want on my eyes or to stay and not be absorbed by my skin. so this primer is my best friend. apply it with a brush like it is eye shadow and then apply the color over it. i use a color close to my complexion and it has a shimmer so that i could actually not use shadow and still look smashing lol

I have soft ochre - its a neutral yellowish beige. I sometimes use it by itself. The other times I use it under some eyeshadows to make the colors more vibrant. It does hide my undereye dark circles which is good too. However, it does crease after 8 or so hours with me.
I don't think I will buy again because this one jar is lasting me a pretty long time.

I bought "Bare Study" paint pot because I'd heard it made an excellent shadow primer, and the rumors were true. I'd tried a Paint, which I found too dry, but the creamy texture of the paint pot is perfect for me. I use this great neutral shimmer all over my eyelids, right up to my browbone, and because it's so subtle you only see shine. I use it on it's own and love it, or any shadow app...read morelied over top always last for at least 12 hours without a crease. I'm just running low (I've had it since October, and I use it every day! That's pretty darn good) and I'm definitely getting it again.— 6 years, 3 months ago
